		<p>Once the elements that you want to modify have been added to the Mass Editing view, you can proceed and edit any of the displayed aspects.</p>
		<h2 id="Regular_Editing">Regular Editing</h2>
		<p>In order to edit a single cell on the Mass Editing view, you need to 
			<b>left click </b> on that cell. Depending on the type of cell and the way that contributors implemented the edit logic, you will be prompted with either a in-line edit mode (meaning that you can enter a new value directly in the selected sell) or a dialog edit mode (meaning that a new dialog will be displayed, containing a wizard that will guide you in selecting a new value). Once the new value is selected press 
			<b>Enter</b> to commit your change.

		<h3 id="Selection">Selection</h3>
		<p>Multiple selection mechanics exist:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Continuous cell selection:  Hold the 
				<b>left click</b> button on the initial point of your selection and drag the mouse over the elements that you want to select.
			</li>
			<li>Individual cell selection: Hold the 
				<b>Ctrl</b> button and 
				<b>left click</b> on the cells that you want to edit.
			</li>
			<li>Column selection: Hold the 
				<b>Ctrl</b> button and 
				<b>left click</b> on any of the column header in order to select all the column cells.
			</li>
		</ul>
		<p>
			<b>Note:</b> all of the selection mechanics can be combined in order to increase your productivity. You can for example select a whole column and then deselect the cells that you want to exclude by using the 
			<b>Ctrl</b> key.
		</p>
		<h3 id="Launch_an_edit_command">Launch an edit command</h3>
		<p>Once you have a selection, two ways of launching an edit command currently exist: </p>
		<ul>
			<li>You can press the 
				<b>F2</b> key.
			</li>
			<li>You can press the 
				<b>right click</b> button on the current select and click on the 
				<b>Edit</b> option.
			</li>
		</ul>
		<p>
			<b>Note:</b> You can edit cells belonging to different columns as long as they have the 
			<b>same type</b>, please refer to the above image where an edit operation is performed for cells belong to both 
			<b>visibleInDoc</b> and 
			<b>visibleInLM</b> columns (since all the elements have the same 
			<b>boolean</b> type).
